SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: 

Background 

On June 7, 2023, Commerce published 

the Preliminary Results of this 

administrative review in the Federal 

Register,1 and invited interested parties 

to comment. For a complete description 

of the events that followed the 

Preliminary Results, see the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum.2 Commerce 

postponed these final results until 

December 1, 2023.3

Scope of the Order 4

The merchandise covered by the 

Order is welded pipe. For a complete 

description of the scope of the Order, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Analysis of Comments Received 

All issues raised in interested parties’ 

briefs are addressed in the Issues and 

Decision Memorandum. A list of the 

issues addressed is attached to this 

notice as an appendix. The Issues and 

Decision Memorandum is a public 

document and is on file electronically 

via Enforcement and Compliance’s 

Antidumping and Countervailing Duty 

Centralized Electronic Service System 

(ACCESS). ACCESS is available to 

registered users at https://

access.trade.gov. In addition, a complete 

version of the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum can be accessed directly 

at https://access.trade.gov/public/ 

FRNoticesListLayout.aspx. 

Changes Since the Preliminary Results 

Based on our analysis of the case and 

rebuttal briefs and the evidence on the 

record, we made certain changes from 

the Preliminary Results related to the 

benefit calculations of certain programs 

due to data corrections based on 

verification findings. These changes are 

explained in the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Methodology 

Commerce conducted this review in 

accordance with section 751(a)(1)(A) of 

the Tariff Act of 1930, as amended (the 

Act). For each of the subsidy programs 

found countervailable, we find that 

there is a subsidy, i.e., a governmentprovided financial contribution that 

gives rise to a benefit to the recipient, 

and that the subsidy is specific.5 For a 

description of the methodology 

underlying Commerce’s conclusions, 

see the Issues and Decision 

Memorandum. 

Verification 

As provided in section 782(i) of the 

Act, in August and September 2023, 

Commerce conducted on-site 

verification of the subsidy information 

reported by Hyundai RB Co., Ltd 

(Hyundai RB), SeAH Steel Corporation 

(SeAH Steel), and the Government of 

Korea. We used standard on-site 

verification procedures, including an 

examination of relevant accounting 

records and original source documents 

provided by the respondents. 

Rate for Non-Selected Companies 

Generally, Commerce looks to section 

705(c)(5) of the Act for guidance for 

calculating the rate for companies that 

were not selected for individual 

examination in an administrative 

review. Section 705(c)(5)(A) of the Act 

states that for companies not 

investigated, in general, we will 

determine an all-others rate by weight 

averaging the countervailable subsidy 

rates established for each of the 

companies individually investigated, 

excluding zero and de minimis rates or 

any rates based solely on facts otherwise 

available. Here, the only rate that is not 

zero, de minimis, or based entirely on 

facts otherwise available is the rate 

calculated for Hyundai RB. 

Consequently, we are assigning this rate 

to HiSteel Co., Ltd., the only company 

not selected for individual examination. 

Final Results of Review 

In accordance with 19 CFR 

351.221(b)(5), we determine the 

following net countervailable subsidy 

rates exist for the POR January 1, 2021, 

through December 31, 2021:

Assessment Rates 

Pursuant to section 751(a)(2)(C) of the 

Act and 19 CFR 351.212(b)(2), 

Commerce has determined, and U.S. 

Customs and Border Protection (CBP) 

shall assess, countervailing duties on all 

appropriate entries of subject 

merchandise in accordance with the 

final results of this review, for the 

above-listed companies at the applicable 

ad valorem assessment rates listed. 

Commerce intends to issue assessment 

instructions to CBP no earlier than 35 

days after the date of publication of the 

final results of this review in the 

Federal Register. If a timely summons is 

filed at the U.S. Court of International 

Trade, the assessment instructions will 

direct CBP not to liquidate relevant 

entries until the time for parties to file 

a request for a statutory injunction has 

expired (i.e., within 90 days of 

publication). 

Cash Deposit Instructions 

In accordance with section 751(a)(1) 

of the Act, Commerce intends to instruct 

CBP to collect cash deposits of 

estimated countervailing duties in the 

amounts shown for each of the 

companies listed above based on 

shipments of subject merchandise 

entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, 

for consumption on or after the date of 

publication of the final results of this 

administrative review.9 For all nonreviewed firms subject to the Order, we 

will instruct CBP to continue to collect 

cash deposits of estimated 

countervailing duties at the most recent 

company-specific rate or the all-others 

rate (i.e., 9.29 percent), as appropriate.10

These cash deposit requirements, 

effective upon publication of these final 

results, shall remain in effect until 

further notice. 

Administrative Protective Order 

This notice also serves as a reminder 

to parties subject to an administrative 

protective order (APO) of their 

responsibility concerning the 

destruction of proprietary information 

disclosed under APO in accordance 

with 19 CFR 351.305(a)(3). Timely 

written notification of the return or 

destruction of APO materials or 

conversion to judicial protective order is 

hereby requested. Failure to comply 

with the regulations and terms of an 

APO is a sanctionable violation. 

Notification to Interested Parties 

We are issuing and publishing these 

final results in accordance with sections 

751(a)(1) and 777(i) of the Act and 19 

CFR 351.221(b)(5).
